I find out this morning that it was just 'miscommunication'. Pathetic. I hope that the reports that miscommunicated and broke this latest and greatest story before the facts were straight get fired and never work again.
That's a pretty big mess up. Again, just another failing in media these days.

I was pretty surprised at how MSNBC was reporting everything related to the incident. When the first body was found, the reporter was told over the phone by a friend of the supposedly dead. She then on NATIONAL TV repeated that Terry Helms (forgive me if I'm incorrect) was dead. She had no conformation from any source. I don't think anyone knew what was going on, they just wanted something to say.
I was so happy when I heard that the men had survived, I honestly thought it was a miracle. Being a nurse, I knew that air those men were breathing was pretty much deadly. Guess I was right. :/
